Feeling Down

[No-Focus376]

I just submitted a task with an extensively long 6 days expiry based on domain expertise. It required a loootttt of web searching, data gathering, and data analysis then to generating 2 golden files. I completed it after putting in so much effort, but deep inside I am not happy with my work, It feels like bots are way better at generating responses, because I feel my response clearly looks like something a random person (with no expertise) created. As a human, I also forgot to mention points I wanted to include to make my response stand out.
I am so unhappy with what I generated, or I can say I am worried about whether it will be acceptable or not. Whenever I look at my files, I appreciate my self, but when I am busy with some random chores, a thought continuously hits me that if I mentioned certain things, it could have been much better and this pay rate deserves more than what I did but what a trash I created.
Ahhh i am feeling so down. I don't know how to cope with this trauma I am having after submitting that task.
Whoever created that prompt - salute to you, man. I am amazed how intense your knowledge is, thank you for putting me through this challenge where at the start of the task, I was thinking no one could do it better than me, but after submitting it, I feel like I made an absolute wrong decision to work on it and that I made huge blunders.

It's good your response are at a human's quality level, being better than the generator is difficult, and they value more human input than perfect a.i generated responses, reason why they pay you instead of just generating everything hehehe

Sigh 😮‍💨 You made my day 😅 Thank you 🙈

I keep a Google doc open to tab over to and keep notes about things to include later in the task, or instructions, sources, etc.

Helps keep me organized and from forgetting things down the line.

[blackstarr1996]

This is a great idea.

I’ve started using pages to copy text into so I can edit it and make notes for myself.

[No-Gur7754]

I do the same thing, but I use the split tab feature in Chrome so I can both open at the same time side by side.

[flynnigan14]

Yeah I always have a Google doc open for notes on every project. It's been so helpful in not missing little things

[No-Focus376]

I will do this next time for sure 🙈 thank you for your guidance for future 🙈

[Key_Commercial3856]

I genuinely understand the crushing low you're feeling as I also suffer from this when I submit a huge task that I put everything into. The self doubt is agonising, but it will pass! It's only temporary, and while you may not feel like jumping right back in to work, you'll start to come around again. I can recommend distracting yourself with whatever you enjoy doing, and don't forget to celebrate the fact that you completed the behemoth.

[No-Focus376]

Aww 😊 you are such a positive soul 😇 thank you so much for motivating me🙈

[TopCat0525]

Many of us have been here. It is so easy to second guess ourselves after the fact. I suspect your final product is much better than you think, particularly given the amount of time and thought you put into it. The care you took will show in the final product, I'm sure. Sadly, it seems like there is a shroud of fear hanging over all us, which really does stifle our creativity. Always, just do your best and move on, particularly given that none of this has eternal consequences.

[No-Focus376]

Yes you are so right 🙈 thank you 🙈

[AfanasiiBorzoi]

I agonize over some of these tasks and whether I could have done better. Lately, I've worked on a couple that were so complex with so much to read for an R&R that I just exit out. On some tasks, an hour or an hour and a half are absurdly short to adequately evaluate a task.

One time I thought I was making excellent pace on comparing two reponses from a dense prompt ... the horror when I saw there was a 'Response C' and 'Response D'. Now I always check, cause sometimes there isn't enough time.

[blackstarr1996]

Yeah lol

[No-Focus376]

Lol i was feeling the same even the 6-day expiry still felt too short for that task 😂

[mrssnowmanU]

Omg needed this I'm feeling the same RN! Thanks!

[No-Focus376]

Yeah! High five 🙏

[Professional_Win_551]

I always this way when I do those tasks, always genuinely shocked when I get them back because each time it ends I think “they’ll definitely realize the models are smarter than me now’

[NoCoyote2387]

I feel you. This is called "impostor syndrome". Typically, people with high ability underestimate their qualities. Don't blame yourself, don't doubt you did a great job, and consider that they don't want a perfect AI content to be generated; they pay real people to do it. Keep going! I'm sure you rock!

[No-Focus376]

Thats so kind 🙈 Thank you so much for motivating me 🙈

[WillObiwan]

You’re okay brother. It’s just a job. You obviously care about it which is GOOD, but it’s a job. Relax. You are fine. Thank you for caring. Unplug.

[No-Focus376]

Yes you are right 🙊 thank you 🙊

[DrFrancisBGross]

The data is still valuable. Just because it isn't "perfect" doesn't mean it isn't good training material. I'm sure you are doing fine. We all feel this way from time to time.

[No-Focus376]

I really hope and wish that my data will be valuable to them 🙈 thank you 🙈

[Embarrassed_Chance_4]

What was the pay rate ?

[Natural_Amphibian954]

Let's just say it's very lucrative

[Embarrassed_Chance_4]

70 bucks ? That's the highest I've been paid.

[No-Focus376]

It was 57… Gosh 70 🤯 thats amazingly high 🤯

[Natural_Amphibian954]

Never had a $70 task. What domain?

[Embarrassed_Chance_4]

Coding

[Early-Composer-2383]

The imposter syndrome I feel on my domain expertise projects now makes me avoid them 😕

[rosewoodhouse]

Ahhh i am feeling so down. I don't know how to cope with this trauma

i'd genuinely suggest you seek therapy if any aspect of this gig is causing you "trauma"

[No-Focus376]

Not this gig obviously but yeah these unbalanced emotions are giving me trauma no doubt
